Refund Policy

Soulmart Inc. (“SoulMart”) takes an active role in every purchase in order to ensure that both the buyer and seller have a great experience. Throughout this Refund Policy, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to SoulMart. All sales are final, but we may open a case on behalf of a buyer if they don't receive their item or if the item they receive is different than what is described in the listing.

SoulMart is a venue made up of independent sellers who run their own shops. This means that each seller is responsible for their own policies regarding refunds, exchanges, and returns. Individual policies will vary from shop to shop.

As a seller on SoulMart, you’re expected to clearly state your policies regarding returns and refunds in your shop policies. This includes:

Whether or not you accept returns
The time frame in which you may accept a return
Who will pay for the cost of return shipping for any items that are sent back to you

If you do have a problem with a transaction, it’s best to contact the buyer directly via the “Contact a seller” option that you can find on the product page of the product you purchased. Buyers are also encouraged to contact you if they experience any issues.
